Hotel terbaik di Trondheim

Place is nice and convenient Entrance is controlled by digital luck, interesting Laundry free—good for several days visiting

A proper 5 star hotel in Trondheim! Even though we are from Trondheim ourselves we decided to spoil ourselves in a luxury stay at Britannia. We booked a Deluxe Room which is more than large enough for two people. The room included a seating area and table, as well as a desk. Where other hotels tend to save money on building their bathrooms ”institution style”, that is definitely not the case here. It was the nicest and most comfortable hotel bathroom I have ever seen. A couple of observations you might find useful: - Room service is open throughout the night, which means you can always get food without having to leave the hotel at any time of the day (and night). Perfect if you arrive late. - Room service is blistering fast. Food arrived within 20 minutes from us ordering and the food was excellent. - Housekeeping does a extra round in the early evening to prepare the room for the night. We were so pleasantly surprised about this when we came back to the room and found it all tidy. New towels, bed made up ready for sleep, new water bottles and of course chocolate. They had even put a dust cap on my half full glass of juice. A very nice touch! - Entrance to the spa is included. We went there on a Saturday afternoon and it was too crowded for our taste. Try visiting during off-hours. A number of different treatments can be booked too, but we did not try those. - Breakfast is served in the iconic Palmehaven where you can order from the menu, eat from the buffet or do like us: both. All is included in the room fee. You can order breakfast to your room but I would strongly advise to at least go to Palmehaven once. Our stay was overwhelmingly positive, but there are two negatives I want to remark at the end of this review. - We had arranged a few items (strawberrys, sweets and drinks) to be ready at our room on arrival. These were not there when we arrived, so we had to call the receiption to sort it out. They were quick to bring it to our room - but as I had ordered it as a surprise it wasn't quite the same. - The waiter at one of the hotel restaurants, Jonathan Grill, didn't know the difference between tenderloin and entrecote. When he brought the meat to our table he kept insisting that the entrecote was the tenderloin, while it obviously wasn't. In the end we just ”agreed with him” and swapped plates between us so that I got the entrecote I had ordered and my girlfriend got her tenderloin. I would expect that any waiter at a steakhouse, at least at a 5 star hotel, to be able to spot the difference.

I chose this hotel as it was the closest to Trondheim station and I was arriving alone by train after 10 pm at night. It was also the cheapest hotel I stayed in during my 3 week travel around Norway and it was easy to see why. There were no amenities in the hotel room such as a kettle, iron, hairdryer or safe. The carpet was stained, and the TV offered about 6 channels, one of them was Al Jazeera and two of them appeared to be Chinese Government sponsored channels. There was not even the usual offering of Norwegian TV channels, just NRK1 and NRK3. The channels that there were were not properly tuned in and there was distortion on the screen. The WiFi kept dropping in and out so I couldn’t watch anything on my iPad either. There was an overhead light when you entered the room above the door, but nothing above the bed, just two tiny bedside lamps so the room appeared dark and unwelcoming. Neither was there a wardrobe or draws, just a frame to hang clothes on with two hangers. The room was warm, and there was a temperature control so that was a bonus. The view from the window of the room I was in was over the train station and out into the fjord beyond. Luckily it was not noisy although I am aware that there were trains running throughout the night. The shower room was also quite sp**** - the seat on the toilet was broken, the two towels provided were quite threadbare, and there were two dispensers on the wall, one by the sink, the other in the shower dispensing minute quantities of soap. The good point was that the shower itself was strong and hot, and appeared quite clean. The light in the shower room was on a sensor which took a while to switch itself off, this has the potential to be quite annoying if you are sharing the room and one of you gets up in the middle of the night On the ground floor was a breakfast room but I did not have breakfast or anything from the reception area so cannot comment on the food or drink on offer - there were also hot and cold drinks and some pastries on sale from the reception desk. The main thing going for this hotel is its’ proximity to Trondheim Station, however I realised on my first morning there that there significantly better hotels within close, well-lit walking distance across the bridge from the station

Zeer goed ontbijt, vriendelijke receptie. Uitstekende locatie in het centrum. Eenvoudige kamer, geen airco, erg zacht bed Prima voor een nachtje

Abbiamo prenotato la sera stessa una camera per due io e mio fratello. Siamo arrivati in albergo verso Mezzanotte stanchi morti e ci hanno consegnato le chiavi della nostra camera dove avremmo trascorso solo quella notte. Ci è stata consegnata una camera dalle dimensioni minuscole. Non vi era nemmeno lo spazio per la valigia. L’arredo era finto casereccio, palesemente fuori dai gusti odierni, ma questo aspetto non era neanche poi così grave, sebbene io ritenga che l’arredamento di una camera d’albergo sia indicativo di quanta cura viene posta affinché i clienti trascorrano una permanenza piacevole, sopratutto per un hotel 4 stelle. Il motivo della mia delusione è stato piuttosto la pulizia e la manutenzione: Pavimento sporco sia in bagno che in anticamera (sottolineo che siamo in tempi di Covid e io mi aspetto il massimo della pulizia). La tenda della finestra sulla camera si incastrava e faceva fatica a chiudersi completamente. La mia bajour non funzionava. Il bagno un disastro: piano del lavabo in plastica ingiallita con patacche in giro non lavabili. Carta igienica non ripiegata (si sa che la piega all’inizio della carta igienica è un buon segno di qualcuno che prima che tu arrivassi ha pulito e sanificato il bagno). La doccia, risalente almeno agli anni ‘80 con le pareti satinate e il telaio in plastica ingiallito. Macchie agli angoli delle pareti della doccia e in tutto ciò, la totale mancanza della ventola all’interno del bagno, dunque un’umidità indecente. Tornando alla hall principale, abbiamo consumato una colazione piuttosto scarsa di scelta, sopratutto per quanto riguarda i dolci. Come sempre all’estero la colazione salata non manca, tuttavia per coloro che gradiscono mangiare dolce, ahimè erano destinati a dei cereali insipidi che dal sapore probabilmente avevano preso un po’ troppa aria. C’è da dire che guardando la piantina del quadro d’emergenza la nostra camera era tra le più piccoline del piano. Inoltre quella mattina erano presenti lavoratori che ristrutturavano i bagni delle camere affianco alla nostra. Pertanto potrebbe essere che siamo semplicemente stati sfortunati a trovare l’unica camera disponibile dell’hotel, sebbene a colazione non abbiamo visto così tanta clientela. Ad ogni modo questa è la mia recensione al servizio che ho ricevuto e ritengo sia giusto condividerla. Una catena d’albergo così famosa come la Best Western dovrebbe vergognarsi ad avere strutture così vecchie e trascurate.
